In response to soaring diesel fuel costs that are causing financial hardships on many in-state trucking companies, West Virginia will grant truckers a two-month grace period beyond the standard July 1 expiration date to renew their truck registrations for the next fiscal year.
The state will extend the expiration for all Class B, apportioned Class BA and Class X motor vehicles for an additional two months. Those registrations that normally expire July 1, 2008, are automatically extended to Sept. 1, 2008. This grace period applies only to the payment for the renewal of Class B, apportioned Class BA and Class X truck registration for vehicles that carry a current vehicle registration.
All U.S. and Canadian law enforcement agencies and other commercial vehicle enforcement agencies will be notified of the extension and requested to honor all West Virginia Class B, apportioned Class BA and Class X motor vehicle cab cards or registration cards with a July 1, 2008, expiration date as a valid registration until Sept. 1, 2008.
